6. Adobe Flash Demonstration Outline
Identify sites with application performance challenges
Choose Monitor > Site Summary.
View sites with the highest average transaction time and sites with the highest traffic rate.
Quantify the application performance
Choose Monitor > Response Time Summary.
Specify Filter: Site - San Jose Campus, Time Range - 1 day, and Time Range - 1 week
http has the highest server response time. Right-click and choose Analyze Application Response Time.
Specify Filter: Time Range – 1 day
Identify applications with poor performance and quantify the response time by network time, server response time, and data transfer time.

7. Adobe Flash Demonstration Outline
Validate the impact of WAN Optimization
Analyze > WAN optimization > Application Performance Analysis.
Minimize WAN Opt Impact analysis filter on the left.
View the effect of optimizing http: lower transaction time (better end-client experience), lower compression ratio (better utilization of the WAN), and fewer average concurrent connections (better utilization of server through connection reuse).
Performing ongoing monitoring of WAN optimization and troubleshoot WAN optimized traffic
Choose Analyze > Conversation Multi Segment.
View detailed breakdown of latency and bandwidth measures for the server, WAN, and client network segments.
